Well I have had a lovely morning today, I took Jake to his first parent and toddler and he loved it. he was very happy banging the drum and ringing the bells in circle time. Have even had time to make a card as he has fallen asleep straight after lunch!

Anyway here is the card!

The backing papers are from 'My minds eye' called 'Spring papers' collection.

The image has been stamped onto a nestabilities scalloped circle sie then coloured with pro markers.

The flower has been created using The marianne creatable flower ribbon die and the swirls are also marianne creatables dies.

The thank you sentiment is from the greeting farm.

The buttons have been made using a 1" circular punch, and some pink thread threaded through and tied.

What a beautiful day outside, my belly is full of Roast potatoes and I have had chance to make anouther card. Does it get any better than this?

So todays card is based on the Moving along with the times 'Fashion' challenge. At least I won't be late for it this time! He He!

The backing papers are from the Pink Petticoat 'Vintage Rose Collection' Papers, and I have used a self sticky piece of cotton lace I had left in my stash.

The dress and accessories are made from a sizzix die called Dress and Accessories, I have layered it onto a Nellie Snellen multiframe oval, which I have inked and liquid pearl drops around the outside. The swirls are from a Marianne creatables die. The dress paper has been pieced on top along with the pink belt and collar layers and the dress paper is also from the same range as the backing papers.

The shopper is yet again a Kenny K image called 'Maddison Attitude' and has been coloured with promarkers. The fur around the jacket and sleeves has been flocked with white flock although it is hard to see in the picture.

The accessories are from the same sizzix die and have been paperpieced together.

Well what a beautiful day. The sun has been shining all afternoon, actually got out of the house today(even if it was just to get the grocery shopping!) At least I got a Kentucky FC before we came home :o) Yum Yum!

So here is today's card, I have tried to fit this one in with a few challenges as I am behind this week. Hope you like it!

So, I have used the sketch from Papertake Weekly for this one, and I have used the recipe from Fab & Funky ' 1image, 2 embellies and 3 papers' The 3 papers I have used are from My Minds Eye 'Spring papers'. I have used a nestability die for a base for the image , I have inked with pink and black around the edge for a distressed look and I have added the Lace around the edge of it.

The image is 'Devilish Donna' yet another one of the FAB images over at Kenny K. I have coloured with promarkers.

The sentiment I have created on my computer and punched out with a 1.5" circular punch. I have again inked with pink and black for a distressed look

I have used a corner butterfly punch for the4 corners of the base layer, matted with black card and used thepunched out butterflies as one of the embellishments, and the orange flat backed gems as the other one.

Well it isn't so nice outside today, but at least it isn't raining. Here is todays project, I made it for Moving along with the times 'any thing for a girl but not a card' but I was too late!! boo hoo. Thought I would show you anyway!

This is a wall hanger.

I have used Nellie Snellen multiframe die and 300gsm white card for the bases. I have then inked them alterantely with pink and purple ink, then again with black stazon ink.

All the sentiments are from the same set, but I am afraid I don't have the packaging and I don't know which company I bought them from.

All the digi stamps are from Kenny kiernan. Any one would think I like his images!!lol

They have all been coloured with promarkers

The flowers are all hand made out of a lrge and small hand punch,they have been cut out of white card and inked in the same way as the bases.

The flourishes are from Marianne creatables, and all the oval have been pearl dotted in the same colour as their ink.

Well it looks like it is a beautiful day outside. I am beginning to get cabin fever, I have not been able to get outside for more than 10 minutes for the last week with my two sick boys! At least I have had chance to make my nephews birthday card.

The sketch for this card is from 'Sketch and stash'. The papers are from K & Company papers called 'Hopscotch'. the die cuts are a Nellie Snellen Multiframe die. The Ribbon is from my stash.

The Digital image is from Kenny Kiernan 'Hockey' and has been coloured with promarkers.

Th skull and crossbones charm is from my stash.

The sentiment was partly created on my computer and the Nephew was stamped using the do crafts stamps.

Oh What a scrumilitious stamp I have used this morning. It was making me feel hungry the whole time I was making this card! I tried the twisted easle card I have seen so many people use lately and as it is my first effort I am very happy with it.

The papers are from Do craft's 'Piece of Cake' Paper pack, And I think the stamp is from Craft UK, I have got rid of the packaging and can't remember!

I have layered the papers onto pink and brown paper/card and then punched down one side.

I have coloured the image with pro markers.

This sentiment is from Do crafts woodland set and has been cut out using a nestabilities die
